More Specific Frequently Asked Questions
The fastest option is the Daxing Airport Express (metro), which connects to Caoqiao Station in around 20 minutes (from there you can transfer to Metro Lines 10 and 19). You can also take the high-speed Beijing-Xiong'an intercity train to Beijing West Railway Station (Beijingxi) in approximately 30 minutes. Shuttle buses to various parts of the city are a cheaper but slower alternative.
Yes, the airport remains open 24 hours a day and many travellers spend the night there. You will find padded benches opposite Gate E80 and some reclining chairs. Bring earplugs and a blanket, as the air conditioning can feel quite cold. There are also private cabins (NapHubs) and attached hotels (Meichen Hotel, Mumian Hotel) if you prefer greater comfort.
Yes, the airport offers free, unlimited and high-speed (5G) Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. To connect, you will need a mobile phone number to receive an SMS verification code. If you do not have roaming access, you can use the self-service kiosks around the airport that issue temporary access codes.

In addition, automated smart lockers operate in the domestic departures area on the second floor.

China does not recognise the International Driving Permit (IDP). To drive yourself, you must obtain a Chinese driving permit (either a temporary 90-day permit or a permanent licence). A simpler alternative is to hire a car with a driver (private chauffeur), which does not require a Chinese licence.
